President Defends Global Outsourcing
mytrip wrote to mention a New York Times article discussing President Bush's trip to the Indian subcontinent. There, he urged Americans to welcome global competition for their jobs. From the article: "Mr. Bush, reiterating a theme of his trip, strongly defended the outsourcing of American jobs to India as the reality of a global economy, and said that the United States should instead focus on India as a vital new market for American goods ... 'The classic opportunity for our American farmers and entrepreneurs and small businesses to understand is there is a 300 million-person market of middle class citizens here in India, and that if we can make a product they want, that it becomes viable,'"
I see. So what's your proposal? Invade India and force them to buy American? Cripple the U.S. economy by cutting it off from the rest of the world? Stick your head in the sand and pretend that the rest of the world doesn't exist?
If you don't know where you are going, you will wind up somewhere else.
Since when have we had a democracy? Last I checked, Kerry won the vote.
